With more than 800 participants and 26 supporting companies the first ever ESSKA Speciality Days was a tremendous experience and a great success This NEW format aimed to be as innovative interactive and dynamic as possible and we certainly achieved this We fulfilled our goal of bringing together the four distinct programmes under one roof yet unifying them at key points during the day This spirit of collaboration knowledge sharing and networking formed the heart of the affectionately-named lsquoScience Soukrsquo the location of the exhibition and the Hot Topic debates which was the dynamic centre of action of the Speciality Days Busy dynamic and fun it was the place to be

We are proud to have created this new format and to have shaken up the way we communicate We intend to keep this concept at the heart of all future Speciality Days and to continue to raise excellence in our field

I would like to say a huge GRACIAS to all those who attended and made this event memorable and unforgettable

We look ahead to the next big event on our calendars ESSKA Congress in MILAN 2020 and mark you calendars for Speciality Days 2021 in Warsaw

ESSKA-AFAS News

Race to Milan

JAMES CALDERESSKA-AFAS Chairman

I would like to sincerely thank all those involved in ESSKArsquos First Speciality Days event that took place in Madrid on the 8-9 November Daniel Haverkamp as the scientific chairman put a great AFAS Section programme together providing ample time for discussion and we succeeded in moving away from the usual lecture-based format to promote debate amongst our ldquoexpertsrdquo and the audience Prof Alastair Younger flew in from Vancouver and delivered some great talks based on his wealth of experience The ldquoHot-Topicrdquo debate was held between Prof Bill Ribbans (UK) and Mike Butler (UK) in support of the routine use for the Internal Bracereg for lateral ligament reconstruction pitched against Alastair Younger and myself Alastairrsquos team was unanimously declared as the winner by me (The audience were swayed in the direction of considering the brace more frequently in specific situations and therefore from a democratic point of view perhaps we losthellip) It proved interesting to see how a didactic (black and white) approach to a complex problem may lead to those with very firmly held views recognising the other sidersquos point of view This is something I would like to encourage in future meetings

The following take home messages stood outfrom the meeting

Cartilage bull Deal with instability at same time as OCLbull Larger lesions ndash AOTS can work wellbull Tibial plafond lesions have variable outcome following microfracturebull Biologics ndash still not known (could some be detrimental)

Biologics bull We need studies before their use can be justified routinelybull Some biologics may be beneficial but some actually may cause more problems

bull We need standardised reporting of constituents and outcomes from PRPBMAc and perhaps this is something AOFAS and AFAS could collaborate on in the future

Syndesmosisbull Use the tools to make diagnosisbull CT to check reduction if screw fixationbull Reconstruction if late diagnosisbull Consider repair superficial deltoid (need evidence)

Arthritis in sportbull Excise osteophytes for ant impingementbull Fusions can workbull Ankle replacements

Away from the scientific content it was a great occasion to catch up and socialise with friends and colleagues ndash Madrid is such a great venue for food and nightlife It seemed a shame that it was interrupted so early on Friday and Saturday morning by some important lectures

In addition to the main programme we also held an AFAS board meeting and the members meeting in advance of the ESSKA congress that will take place in Milan in May 2020 Following proposals from members and then a vote Chris Pearce has been announced as the next vice-chairman of AFAS to take over from Daniel Haverkamp as he takes up my position in May 2020 We have also put together a scientific programme for the ESSKA congress in Milan based upon the feedback and suggestions from AFAS members

As to future education events the ldquoAll Aboutrdquo ankle cadaveric meeting in Munich takes place in December and I will report on this in the next issue A further cadaveric AFAS course has been agreed for 2020 and I will provide details on this in the new year The Ankle Instability Group

is holding an AFAS Members meeting in Ashville USA in June 2020 Peter Mangone is hosting the meeting and will forward details to all members over the forthcoming months (picture and map of location below)

The Achilles Tendon Study Group is organising a consensus and AFAS members meeting in 2021 in St Petersburg ndash the date is yet to be confirmed However Mike Carmont will relay this to you as soon as it is finalised We plan to run it as a 3 day course from Wed-Fri

AFAS is running for Science and please join in free from home

Winner gets a prizeFastest runner gets a prize

ESSKA-ESA continues to thrive As expected ESSKArsquos Speciality Days gave us an opportunity to share ideas and future projects with ESSKArsquos other Sections as well as to take stock in one of the most contentious topics of modern shoulder surgery the management of massive rotator cuff tearsA few decades ago the goal of shoulder surgery was any kind of functional improvement over the pre-operative condition Nowadays technological advancements in diagnosis and treatment options as well as a better understanding of biology and biomechanics have set the bar much higher The main goal nowadays is a successful functional result and a full biological healing when joint preserving options are suitableHowever treatment of massive cuff tears remains a challenge Higher re-tear rates and low functional results are still commonly reported in the literature after open or arthroscopic repairs Up to now this is one of the worst reverses for shoulder surgery Dozens of surgical options have been reported but therersquos still no consensus about treating a massive cuff tear to avoid a re-tear Indeed the situation is even more confused when it comes to treating massive cuff re-tears Therefore ESA felt that some focus on the problem was needed And ESSKArsquos Speciality Days seemed to be a perfect opportunity A detailed programme was prepared It started by defining massive cuff tear then passed to biologic enhancement options conservative as well as surgical strategies and rehabilitation in both scenarios up to clarification of the demarcation line between joint preserving options and shoulder replacement and finally concluded by understanding how to manage failure even after a reverse shoulder arthroplasty Intense discussions after these sessions and case presentations made for a successful meeting ESSKArsquos Speciality Days allowed ESA to assemble the most experienced European shoulder surgeons in a stunning location But what really made the difference was the active participation of ESA members In his conclusive speech Dr Nuno Gomes pointed out that the contents of presentations and discussions were remarkable especially taking into account the relevance of the

issues addressed A definitive conclusion on the best treatment modality in treating massive cuff tears probably cannot be drawn yet However ESSKA Speciality Days showed us a wide variety of viable surgical techniques concluding that the best option is up to now probably related to patientrsquos functional demand and surgeonrsquos experienceESArsquos Programme Chairmen are deeply grateful to all members who joined the meeting in Madrid and took an active part in the scientific sessions Moreover the ESA board is proud to announce that ESA section has been awarded as ldquothe best ESSKA section performance 2019rdquo Nevertheless the ESSKA Speciality Days also represented a unique moment to celebrate talent creativity and commitment of members who strongly supported our social media activities during the last year The winner of the first ldquoESA Social Media Awardrdquo was Dr Adrian Blasiak All contributors also received a special mention ldquoBest ESA research paperrdquo was assigned to Dr Lucca Lacheta ESArsquos mission is to provide the best help for young as well as experienced shoulder surgeons to keep enhancing their clinical and surgical skills by keeping ahead of developments As a scientific body ESA plays a role of the utmost importance in education and professional networking We hoped to have achieved this in Madrid If you missed this opportunity but want to play your part in shoulder surgery please donrsquot forget to visit the ESA website and Facebook page and then join us

ESSKA-EKA Highlightsfrom the Speciality Days in Madrid

The topic of this yearrsquos EKA Speciality days was Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty The scientific programme started with imaging modalities and analysis techniques for the measurement of lower limb alignment ranging from X-rays to CT and MRI The debate on the controversial topic of anatomical mechanical versus kinematic individualised alignment in TKA followed We still do not know what the best alignment method is for our patients moreover we still do not know if the newer alignment techniques result in superior patient outcomes compared to the classical mechanical alignment The next focus of the meeting was alignment in a high tibial osteotomy and distal femur osteotomy which included a combination of classical and new techniques and the addition of ligament reconstruction to HTO and patient-specific saw guides The afternoon symposia covered sagittal coronal and rotational alignment of TKA components The second day started with the symposium on how to ensure the correct alignment in the digital era focusing on digital planning patient-specific instrumentation and robotics In addition to the symposia and the innovative Hot Topic Debate lively discussions took place in the free paper sessions across a variety of topics ranging from HTO to TKA and roboticsSeveral take-home messages emerged from the discus-sions Although plain radiographs and 2D imaging are the cornerstones of measuring and analysing alignment

advanced imaging techniques such as CT EOS MRI and SPECT provide additional information to better achieve the desired alignment and to evaluate painful TKAMechanical alignment is still the main goal for most surgeons however other philosophies such as kinematic anatomic and individualized alignment may improve midterm patient outcomes without an increase in wear and loosening rates in select patients without significant deformity and bone loss Although there are no precise cut off points there are safe zones for implant alignment and the focus should be on preserving the soft tissue envelope aiming for a more natural knee New technologies such as PSI CAS robotics and accelerometer-based inserts may increase the accuracy of alignment in all three planes however the effect of increased accuracy on patient outcomes is still controversial Despite advances in technology the surgeon is still the most crucial factor in ensuring the best outcome for our patients and finally No the machines are not taking over our orthopaedic expertise (at least not yet)Many thanks go to our faculty and highlight speakers for their time and effort in making this first Speciality Days a memorable scientific event Special thanks to our members and delegates who filled the largest auditorium in the congress centre from 715am and contributed to the lively discussions We look forward to the 2021 edition in Warsaw

Sport Injuries ndash New ConceptsThe ESSKA-ESMA Topic in Speciality Days in Madrid

HENRIQUE JONES HERMANN MAYR WERNER KRUTSCH JACQUES MENETREY

From the beginning of time athletes have strived to be stronger faster and more skilled But with the modern intensity of training sports injuries (both acute and overloaded) have also became more frequent

To combat our modern sports injuries we have specialised sports medicine orthopaedic surgery and physiotherapy to provide athletes with diagnostics surgery rehabilitation and preventive services Sports medicine might be said to have started with Galen (129AC-216AC) [2] who was chief physician to a troop of gladiators maintained by the high priest of Asia [1] and urged everybody to take up sport ldquotake fresh air get a good sleep eat and drink properly control emotions and empty bowels once a dayrdquo and ldquono activity is exercise unless you become breathlessrdquo But in Galenrsquos era the physician only got involved after therersquod been an injury By the time of Santorio Santorius (1561 to 1636) and Bernardino Ramazzini (1633 to 1714) sports medicine had developed techniques to promote health and fitness and ensure the safety and well-being of participating athletes

During ESSKArsquos Speciality Days in Madrid ESMA discussed lsquoThe Injured Athletersquo and how we could help him understand and treat his injuries as well as to helping lsquoThe Healthy Athletersquo to prevent injuries and make better use of

the available technology Muscle and Tendon injuries were addressed in some detail mdash they are the commonest sports injuries nowadays mdash as well as meniscus controversies

ESMA is also concerned with performing arts injuries and what one might term ldquogesturalrdquo injuries We were in Spain where bullfighting is a cultural meme [3] was brought to the limelight by Hemingways novel A Sun Also Rises and remains an attraction for travellers despite the disputes between moral activists and die-hard bullfighting followers It therefore seemed appropriate to consider the injuries specific to bullfighting

And so finally to our highlight speaker ldquoMr Football Doctorrdquo Michel D`Hooghe and his round table about ldquoInjured Athlete From the field to the field and retired players what changesrdquo

Our thanks to everyone who contributed both speakers and delegates and who allowed us to show ESMArsquos activities our concerns and our desire to improve sports medicine

TAKE HOME MESSAGES

Arts and Sports Injury CorrelationArt performers like musicians circus artists dancers horse and bull performers have general and specific muscle-skeletal injuries similar to traditional sports The aim of this session was to understand this injuries in order to elaborate the best approach of treatment and prevention based on sports medicine experience

Tendon InjuriesTendon is a special tissue with specific composition histological particularities and structural architecture The aim of this session was to understand taking into account those particularities the correlation between injury classification adequate diagnosis therapeutics and functional response under sports gesture Adequate prevention exercises treatment decisions and safe return to sports are the keys of treatment success and re-injury prevention

Hot Topic Debate MeniscusFinal recommendations contemplate meniscus preservation whenever possible (20 of meniscus ruptures) taking into account the multiple repair techniques and their specific indications

Muscle InjuriesImportance of injury mechanism and correct diagnosis in therapeutic success of muscle injuries The adoption of an easy and embracing classification should be of major importance regarding clarification and understanding between medical teams in sports Importance of muscle surgery indications in top athletes Adequate conservative treatment progression safe return to sports and prevention as key points to avoid re-injuries

Recover and PerformanceThe importance of recover strategies like cryotheraphy oxygen therapy and adequate rest and sleep in performance results Supplements biomarkers and metabolomics and their importance in sports and athletes welfare

Football MedicineWhat changed in the game through the years More and faster matches less recovery time different surfaces results and economics their contribution for severe injuries Early specialisation and unusual injuries in children a concern to all sports medical teams Injury experience for athletes coaches and football doctors The retired athlete and physical psychological and social changes that we must understand and support

ESSKA Foundation

ROMAIN SEILESSKA Foundation Chairman

The ESSKA Foundation (EF) was established in 2013 under the aegis of the lsquoFondation de Luxembourgrsquo (FdL) with the aim of improving care and excellence in orthopaedics especially in sports medicine and degenerative joint diseases in Europe of improving musculoskeletal function and enhancing the quality-of-life of patients To achieve this the EF supports ESSKArsquos education and our research projects (both national and international) in orthopaedics and sports medicine and surgery with special emphasis on arthroscopy

The EF is a corporate sheltered foundation under the FdL a publicly recognized umbrella foundation by the Government of Luxembourg The FdL was created in 2008 and currently shelters 71 foundations Its role is to coordinate the EF to steer the management committee and to guarantee an administrative and financial monitoring according to the highest standards This means that the EF gets public recognition and support as well as professional management However the FdL does not provide any fundraising assistance The Management committee is composed of ESSKA Past-President who chairs the Foundation ESSKA Current President ESSKA First Vice President an external advisor (currently Mr Jeannot Kreckeacute former Minister of Economy and Sports of Luxembourg) as well as the director of the FdL Mrs Tonika Hirdman

From a technical point of view the EF is a hybrid foundation This means that it is partly an endowment foundation which is based on the principle that the revenue of the endowment can be used to fund specific projects At the same time it is also a so-called turnover foundation which allows it to receive external funds to support specific projects which have been previously acknowledged and which require to be steered by the management committee

The EF is currently supporting the following initiatives - The ESSKA pediatric ACL monitoring initiative (PAMI) which opened the first international orthopaedic registry in May 2018 Currently seven centres from various European countries contribute to create a large pediatric ACL database PAMI is supported by an education grant of medical industry and by the Olympic Solidarity Its steering committee is composed of Lars Engebretsen Havard Moksnes Romain Seil and Kristian Samuelsson- The ESSKA Allografts in Joint-Reconstruction Initiative which began in 2016 as a cooperation between ESSKArsquos Arthroscopy Cartilage and Basic Science Committees Its steering committee under the leadership of Tim Spalding Peter Verdonk and Laura de Girolamo managed to raise a significant amount of financial support from the medical industry It resulted in a Health Technology Appraisal (HTA) which was published in the June 2019 issue of KSSTA Currently a consensus on the need for allografts in joint reconstruction is being performed- The Cycle for Science Initiative began with ESSKArsquos Barcelona Congress of 2016 and will be continued in Milan 2020 after its success in Glasgow 2018 The outcome of the initiative is the support of the ESSKA Instructional Course Lecture Book The latter is edited by the respective program chairmen of the upcoming ESSKA congress (eg Michael Hirschmann Kristian Samuelsson and Elizaveta Kon) whereas the main organizer of the cycling initiative is Wolfgang Nebelung

Currently the EF is in a healthy financial situation At its annual meeting in June 2019 in Luxembourg the management committee expressed its appreciation towards all participants in the various activities of the EF and especially the leadership of the three initiatives for their commitment to ESSKA and the EF It also extends an invitation to active ESSKA members who want to start future activities

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics (JEO)

STEFANO ZAFFAGNINIJEO Editor-in-Chief

These past months as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics (JEO) have been challenging but also rife with satisfactions we received several manuscripts in a short timeframe and the most interesting ones upon fulfilling our publication standards can now be downloaded and shared by the scientific community There are more manuscripts being evaluated by our reviewers or undergoing revision which we are look forward to publishing A special thank you to all the associate editors and the editorial board who have worked tirelessly to speed up the revision process

I take this occasion to again stress on the fact that JEO has already changed its target our focus on the pre-clinical science remains strong but me and my team are interested also in clinical research concerning all fields of orthopaedics as much as ESSKArsquos official journal KSSTA For these reasons we have implemented a system that permits authors whose manuscripts are not a fit for KSSTArsquos scope to submit their revised work directly to JEO skipping the first revision

process This strategy allows researchers to get their work peer-reviewed and published faster this synergy between JEO and KSSTA has already given promising results and it will be strengthened

In addition to papers submitted autonomously I am glad to announce that we have invited some of the most important sport medicine experts to share their knowledge and their research with the journal the positive feedback I received from them was amazing and confirms their true dedication towards our ESSKA community

By the time you read this the ESSKA Speciality Days in Madrid will be over and we will be preparing for the 2020 ESSKA Milan Congress ldquotempus fugitrdquo (time flies) the Romans used to say

I will meet all of you in Milan where the definitive ldquoshaperdquo of JEO will be unveiled

I was still operating whilst 39 weeks pregnant We joked that the sound of arthroscopy fluid hitting the floor was my water breaking It very well could have been My healthy beautiful daughter was born two days later This was the second pregnancy where I operated until delivery however my first time as an attending surgeon Several people thought I was crazy and part of me agreed with them My 17-year-old male patient and his family did not share that opinion They were aware that he could be treated by another surgeon or postpone surgery but they chose me Another patientrsquos mother shared with me ldquoI hope your baby decides to wait long enough for you to be able to treat minerdquo She didI am fortunate that both my pregnancies were uncompli-cated I did not experience the typical first trimester symp-tom of morning sickness and was able to keep my pregnancies relatively private for some time This is rare Privacy is challenging for a preg-nant Orthopaedic Sur-geon Rumors spread quickly when a female surgeon of childbearing age steps out of the room when using bone cement takes extra precautions when using fluoroscopy or even avoids drinking a beer at social events There were a few peers that became suspicious of my ear-ly pregnancy actions though no one ldquoouted merdquo and re-spected my desire to postpone any announcements until I was readyAnnouncing pregnancy is hard I was so excited as both pregnancies were planned but I dreaded sharing the news I did not know if pregnancy would be welcomed or received as stressful to those I worked with Eventually pregnancy becomes obvious and I knew it was time to say somethingMy partners in practice and previous co-residents were extremely supportive during my pregnancies They shared

excitement for my growing family and I am appreciative of their support and understanding Despite this I still feared the possibility of pregnancy complications and creating a burden by increasing workload demands I attempted scheduling prenatal appointments during off peak hours and front loading my call schedule I had a close relationship with my obstetrician who was flexible with appointments It saddens me to hear stories from other female surgeons who sacrifice their own care in order to keep partners satisfied Unfortunately that seems all too common It is not easy to be a pregnant surgeon but it is doable Operating theatres are warm under a gown and lead at baseline When you add hormones and a baby the heat is even worse I was always reassured to hear someone else in

the room ask about the patientrsquos temperature so that the thermostat could be decreased In retrospect they were probably reacting to the sweat dripping down my face I am still grateful As the baby

grew so did my belly The operating table became farther away and manipulating a leg during a scope became more challenging I was able to accommodate and even felt some benefit to having an extra ldquoshelfrdquo for positions such as maintaining valgus to work in the medial compartment of a kneeAfter working through the entire pregnancy I became a mother for the second time As an attending surgeon I took a 12-week maternity leave to adjust to life with a new baby and her big sister I am proud that during that time I also successfully prepared for completed and passed the ABOS Part II exam In my opinion life does not get better With balance I have two of the most amazing and rewarding full-time jobs Mother and Orthopaedic Surgeon

Connectors are those that are able to combine people placesand concepts If you add artistic creativity and boundless

determination to this person you then describe Ejnar Erikssonwho was essential in the creation of ESSKA

On a cloudy Spring day in 2019 Sarper Gursu and myself flew to Stockholm to meet Ejnar Eriksson The meeting had been carefully planned by Prof Suzanne Werner Ejnarrsquos loving wife We all met at Arlanda airport in a comfortable chamber where Ejnarmdashseeming rather larger than lifemdashread us his paper The History of ESKA-ESSKA as seen through the eyes of its Founder This paper was already familiar but it was just grand to hear it delivered by Ejnar and then to ask him questions

In those early years according to Ejnar the important Arthroscopy meetings were all American so if a European surgeon wanted to learn about knee-surgery he had to travel to the lsquoStates Such meetings were expensive so a European Society was needed which could organize its own meetings and courses After all the science was already here

In 1981 Ejnar was attending his annual meeting in Hawaii In those days the Pan-American round-the-world fares were cheaper than direct flights and these flights happened to leave from Berlin This was a lucky twist of fate because Guumlnther Boumlhm the director of West Berlinrsquos new congress center asked Ejnarmdashas President of FIMS----to hold a meeting there Ejnar had to decline because the FIMS meeting was already fixed But the offer was renewed and became the very first European Arthroscopy Meeting when Ejnar and eleven others met to discuss the foundation of ESKA

When we asked Ejnar what his criteria had been in choosing these eleven colleagues his said Arthroscopy was so new then And all those guys mentioned here they had been doing arthroscopic surgery thats why I picked themhellipI didnt know some of them but I knew they published about arthroscopic surgery Irsquod heard them at meetings I knew they were good scientists So I picked them all and I think I picked the right people Click here to hear Enjar in his own words

The first ESKA Congress in Berlin in 1984 was attended by more than 800 people and supported by West Berlin city Ejnar was able to attract people from Eastern Europe and East Berlin It was striking to hear how these Easterners arrived subway despite the hard conditions and the strictures of the Cold War Ejnar had an anecdote about every one

Ejnar lead KSSTA for 16 years from 1993 to 2008 The idea of creating a journal for the Society dated from 1990 but could not be realized until 1993 We asked Ejnar whether what hersquod have done differently about ESSKA He was very decisive Nothing absolutely nothing ESSKA was very successful and it was one of the biggest achievements of my life

We relished Ejnars anecdotes about his long life It was interesting that hersquod received an excellent job-offer from Germany after his retirement in 1995 but refused it because ldquohe didnt like the foodrdquo and refused another from Alabama because ldquoit was too far awayrdquo but accepted an offer from Italy because hersquod held many arthroscopy courses there His attempts to make downhill-skiing safer were just adorable And his stylish royal ancestors and Alfred Nobels affection for his grandmother these had us all laughing

In Ejnars words To make a long story short ESSKA was an idea that a crazy Swedish guy had and an idea that has proven to be much better than I ever thought Its the oldest orthopaedic society in Europe its one of the biggest and its one of the most successful So it wasnrsquot such a bad idea ESSKA came along and put Europe on the map

How amazing and how true

Arthroscopy CommitteeKnee Collateral Ligaments Working Group (KCL)

PABLO GELBERCo-Chairman of the Arthroscopy Committee

Chairman of the Knee Collateral Ligament Working Group

The KCL keeps pushing its targets on the posterolateral corner of the knee At the time of writing our main event is 4 weeks ahead This is the unique Posterolateral Corner of the Knee Learn its secrets course This fully-booked course focuses in traditional as well as innovative surgical techniques Six to seven surgical techniques will be performed by each participant Standard open approaches mini open techniques and fully arthroscopic PLC reconstructions all together Also some tips-and-tricks for wonderful anatomic dissections--and how to photograph them better--will be an extra All these will be posted on ESSKArsquos Academy so everyone will access this priceless information

Once our Expert Consensus has been published in KSSTA it will be time for our World Survey which was filled out by 1000 surgeons from the 5 Continents You will also see these results in KSSTA shortly

The Journal of Experimental Research (JEO) will also soon publish some guidelines about the required graft length for each specific PLC reconstruction technique Great to keep it in the pocket for your surgical planning

For Milan 2020 an ICL and a symposium highlighting the main findings of the KCL will be offered While the ICL will be summarized in ESSKArsquos ICL book we will also summarize the symposium in a freely distributed electronic booklet

Finally a secret briefing for all those passionate surgeons in love with knee collateral ligaments for 2020-2022 we will switch our focus to the medial side of the knee The new chairman will be Dr James Robinson from UK If you are an expert in such matters please contact me at personaldrgelbercom to participate in the new project

ESSKArsquos first Advanced Methodological Course ldquoAll about clinical studies and publishingrdquo in Luxembourg in June 2019 was a success ESSKArsquos Basic Science Committee will now repeat the course every year in Luxembourg

Surgeons should not only be able to use research but also to do research However throughout Europe there is a problem about in acquiring this skill after medical training Postgraduate opportunities for medical research vary enormously Likewise residency training is usually focused on clinical-competence and research is not often encouraged Our Course hopes to

bull Train delegates in three Areas of Competence General Competence how to synthesize findings and draw conclusions from those findings Using Research how to plan and carry out a literature search and how to appraise research evidence Finally Doing Research how to formulate a research question as a hypothesis and how to gather and then analyse results

bull Train delegates to carry out research in their daily clinical practice to improve patient care and therefore the quality of life of patients

bull Train delegates to plan and conduct a clinical study to familiarize the regulatory guidelines to interpret the data as well as to explaining them by manuscript or lectureThe course offers a balanced programme of lectures and practical group sessions Regardless of the delegatesrsquo background or research experience it provides an opportunity to engage with renowned speakers as well as meeting peers from different backgrounds Although the basic-course remains the same each year we shall adapt the content to your needs and wersquoll add new features

Please remember when you register to submit your proposal for clinical study We shall select the best ideas and develop them during the course And wersquoll offer free support to the winner over a 2-year period

So donrsquot hesitate to join for the next course to be held in Luxembourg 5-6 June 2020 We look forward to seeing you

ESSKA Under 45 Meeting in Bucharest Hip Arthroscopy Committee A Focus on Education

OCTAV RUSSUU45 Committee Chairman

ESSKA Under 45 Committee exists for collaboration between young European orthopaedists In this spirit under the umbrella of National Romanian Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology congress which was held this year in Bucharest on 16-18 October we organised an ldquoESSKA - Under 45 sessionrdquo in which members of the U45 ESSKA committee met members of other similar societies (Portugal Netherlands)

At this meeting we focused on sports trauma with three members of our committee giving lectures on diagnostic and treatment of meniscus root tears (Thomas Tischer) anterior cruciate ligament primary repair (Sufian Ahmad)

and meniscal repair (Octav Russu) Another two interesting presentations about return-to-sport after anterior cruciate reconstruction (The Netherlands) and avoiding retrograde drilling in anterior ligament reconstruction (Portugal) closed the session Every author contribution will appear in the Congress book of abstracts

We also had an informal meeting after the conference to exchange experiences about how to collaborate on future publications future projects and plan future meetings We all agreed that hands-on courses are probably one of most effective ways of training residents and we need more of these courses

The Hip Arthroscopy Committee (HAC) aims to provide a robust educational platform for members of ESSKA As hip arthroscopy has become a specialty in Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Traumatology so has ESSKArsquos interest grown It is well known that hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery is quite challenging but valuable for the symptomatic patient In our committee meetings we have developed a list of priorities In order to achieve these ambitious goals we are pursuing several important projects

First we are involved with ESSKArsquos Core Curriculum trying to define basic and advanced competencies around the hip

The Cambridge Hip Course as hosted by Mr Khanduja was supported by ESSKA (as a patron) The mix of didactic teaching from world experts as well as cadaveric sessions helped learners consolidate knowledge More of these types of educational experiences and opportunities will be developed by the HAC and are scheduled for the next year

A wide HAC presence at international meetings is also planned for example at the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy (ISHA) annual meeting an ISHA-ESSKA Hip Symposium is planned (Madrid 2019) This session will enable leading experts from ESSKA to present contemporary surgical techniques and innovative research to a global audience The development of a partnership with ISHA will strongly benefit members of ESSKA now and into the future More collaborations of this type are planned for example the triennial one in planning with EFORT

One of the benefits of being an ESSKA member is the opportunity to attend ESSKA biennial meeting ESSKA next meeting in Milan promises to be a great learning and networking opportunity This meeting will feature instructional course lectures from renowned speakers discussing concepts

that range from basic to advanced keynote lectures from key opinion leaders symposia on innovative topics about the hip This meeting will set the stage for knowledge translation for current and future hip surgeons

For those who cannot travel but still have an appetite for knowledge we have published some general topic articles in past ESSKA newsletters and we are developing a comprehensive hip preservation textbook and a special edition on hip-preservation in an ESSKA affiliated journal in the near future This printed materiel will be supplemented by electronic media and HAC committee members are hard at work developing these projects Please stay tuned for the finished products in the very near futureAlthough budgets are not limitless and there are challenges in getting all this done the HAC is truly up to the task We have received tremendous support from the leadership at ESSKA and this energizes us We believe that education and the exchange of ideas is the key to improving standards of care

Void Filling in Opening Wedge OsteotomyESSKA Consensus Statement

ldquoWhen should I fill the gap in opening wedge osteotomy surgeryrdquo

ESSKA Master Arthroscopist Competition ndash update

MATT DAWSONOsteotomy Committee Chairman

This is one of the commonest questions asked of the many talented osteotomy surgeons around Europe and beyond Whilst in the last 25 years huge strides have been taken in this reinvigorated sub specialism very few queries will produce such a wide variance in response from such an erudite and skilled assembly of expertsThe indications for osteotomy around the knee have broadened and the planning for surgery has reached hitherto unprecedented levels of sophistication We have embraced PACS annotation 2-D and 3-D software applications computed navigation and more recently patient specific instrumentation in our practices Our better understanding of functional biomechanics at the patient level and the establishment of angle stable plate technology has laid the table with a plethora of desirable options in terms of robust and user-friendly implants and instrumentation We have moved with the times in recognising the importance of governance and outcome with registries such as UKKOR [1]All of these developments are for the benefit of patient surgeon and health economy alikeOur global practice is underpinned by a broad understanding of the evidence from a growing scientific base and a consensus which is propagated through the many excellent courses hosted throughout Europe For instance it is understood that the proper planning of osteotomy surgery is a prerequisite for predictable and successful outcome The answer to the question ldquoShould I invest time and effort into planning surgeryrdquo will yield a binary response with almost 100 in the lsquoyesrsquo camp We get a much different response to the gap filling questionMembers of the osteotomy committee of ESSKA were polled on the above question The response ranged from ldquoalways fill the gaprdquo to ldquoalmost never fill the gaprdquo and between these extremes an individually reasoned but inconsistent reply largely predicated by the size of the gap to be filledSince the landmark work of Alex Staubli regarding the predictable healing of opening wedge HTO there has been ongoing investigation of gap filling in osteotomy For instance one systematic review has categorically advised

against the use of synthetic filler in HTO [2] Renowned experts in Japan and France [34] however regularly use these biocomposites in their practice Some evidence points to the quicker healing of osteotomy with autograft and allograft but questions remain as to the functional benefit in patient outcomes Materials testing results confirm that initial stability is enhanced with gap filling materials [56] but the relevance of this mechanical advantage in an evolving biological healing process raises more questions Questions on clinical value and cost loom large in these days of health care budgets and rationingIt is therefore incumbent on us as experts to invest time and effort into answering the questions raised The broad swathe of opinion suggests the use of void filler has a valid place in osteotomy surgery however large or small There is a need to drill down on the advantages and disadvantages posed by void filling There are many theoretically valid indications for the use of such materials The routine use of graft materials is however unjustifiable to a health economy if there is absolutely no demonstrable benefit This might for example specifically examine the benefit of regularly filling smaller gaps in routine surgeryThe ESSKA osteotomy committee is therefore committed to the forensic investigation of this subject and the provision of a consensus statement which better answers the question

More virtual training in Orthopedicsand Sport Traumatology is needed

In the orthopedic world the assessment of surgerymdashits quality-assessmentmdashis becoming more and more important Quality-of-surgery has been suffering because of economic-pressure with less training for doctors and less staff for hospitals Basic training in surgical-skills is crucial for residency programmes But a survey of 918 residents in France reported that 695 of them were incapable of performing arthroscopy without supervision [4] 40 of the respondents had done less than 5 arthroscopies There is an urgent need for well-structured training programs for junior doctors throughout Europe and programmes which use virtual-techniques This idea is not new It has long been used for training anaesthetists Virtual training can be highly standardized and repeatable and gives a better idea of a doctorrsquos performance and his progress Different virtual systems have been introduced in Sports Medicine with fine training equipment for Orthopaedic Surgeons One of them is VirtaMedreg a spin-off company from ETH Zuumlrich Switzerland founded in 2007 to improve the quality of surgical-training especially VirtaMedreg simulators are very realistic because they use the same instruments as an operating room (Fig 1) There are simulated articulations using arthroscopic instruments combined with rubber models and high fidelity graphics All this makes the entire training very realistic The training programme has different modules of increasing difficulty In diagnostic arthroscopy all anatomical structures of the joint have to be visualized The simulator records the time required for the diagnostic arthroscopy and the precision of the surgeonrsquos instruments inside the joint A comparative study using the VirtaMedreg-training tool has shown that during diagnostic arthroscopy time can be decreased from 185 to 1159 sec the camera path-length reduced from 852 to 492 cm

and the hook path-length from 655 to 150cm [2] These are significant improvements Contact with the cartilage which during real arthroscopy means damage to the cartilage is also deducted from the final score When a definite score has been reached the surgeon moves to the next task Because of such practice the surgeon will eventually perform arthroscopy on real patients in the same way but with much more confidence and without thinking how to move the scope or instruments during the procedure Many studies have proven that virtual training is a highly effective tool for improving a residentrsquos ability in handling the camera and instruments in the knee shoulder or hip [1 3 5] Since 2014 ESSKA has run an annual basic arthroscopy course in Istanbul combining lectures motor-skill training using VirtaMedreg simulators and finally arthroscopic surgery on specimens

What it is like to be a Travelling Fellowand then a Travelling Fellowshiprsquos Godfather

The most frequent phrase Irsquove come across in many fellowship reports is the lsquoonce in a lifetime experiencersquo But I was extremely lucky to have a lsquotwice in a lifetime experiencersquo the first in 2001 when I was selected as ESSKArsquos Fellow for the ESSKA-AOSSM tour and the second in 2019 when I had the honour to chair the group as ESSKA past president again for the ESSKA-AOSSM tour

My journey began in the year 2000 when I got the letter of acceptance as a travelling fellow to North America from ESSKArsquos then Educational Secretary Prof PP Mariani from Rome I could not believe that I would be allowed to meet in person with so many champions of our discipline I only knew from the orthopaedic literature Surgeons who had strongly influenced our field of medicine or given their name to a specific procedure or a clinical sign So off we went together with my co-fellows Patrick Djian from Paris and Gianluca Camillieri from Rome under the umbrella of our godfather Pierre Chambat from Lyon the famous knee surgeon In 2001 the program included the following visits Columbus (Georgia) (fig 1) Winston-Salem (North Carolina) Baltimore (Maryland) London (Ontario Canada) Burlington (Vermont) (fig 2) Salt Lake City (Utah) Vail (Colorado) for the meeting of the Herodicus Society and Keystone (Colorado) for the annual meeting of AOSSM

But what was the world like in 2001 Three years before Google was created and the ISS launched The Euro was born a year after Facebook Skype LinkedIn WhatsApp Twitter or Instagram did not exist Photography started to become digital Free Medline access via PubMed was announced in 1997 and scientific journals only existed in their paper versions Communication was done via phone fax and e-mails only The European Union had only 15 countries The GDP of China was 13 billion US$ whereas in 2018 it was 10 times more George W Bush

was president of the USA and the twin towers were still standing Security was not a major issue In Europe many people were happy because travelling without borders had just become a reality (the Iron Curtain came down a decade before the Schengen Treaty which eased internal border checks was incorporated into EU law in 1999) During our fellowship tour we were given a private visit of the Capitol in Washington DC by a former CIA agent bumping by surprise into Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain Not sure if this would still be possible today Orthopaedic sports medicine was merely limited to North America Western Europe and Japan Women in our specialty were very rare Outpatient surgery was only just beginning ACL registries were still a dream Drilling of femoral ACL tunnels was mostly transtibial but both hamstring tendons and bone patellar tendon bone grafts were widely used While we saw several arthroscopic shoulder stabilization procedures on our tour arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstructions were in their first decade and only performed by some pioneers Hip arthroscopy did hardly exist Nobody talked about the opioid crisis or secondary chondrolysis after intra-articular pain pump use

Eighteen years later the so-called social media is everywhere China has become a superpower Global climate change has become an issue Borders between countries are being strengthened again and security is becoming paramount Our specialty has evolved towards nearly global acceptance and the number of women in orthopaedic sports medicine ndash although still a minority ndash is slowly increasing As a godfather I was extremely happy to travel with a group of very talented surgeon scientists My fellows were Simone Cerciello from Rome Italy Baris Kocaoglou from Istanbul Turkey and Matt Ollivier from Marseille France This time we visited Hershey Baltimore Annapolis Boston for the annual AOSSM meeting

Cleveland Memphis Stanford Houston and New York Our hostsrsquo hospitality was overwhelming for which I cannot thank them enough The tour was perfectly organized and outstanding It allowed us to understand the profound social cultural and historical differences existing in the US between the coastlines and the center the North and the South We not only got an insight into US history but our hosts also allowed us to get a glimpse of our future through visits to NASA and plans for the space-industry a visit to Facebook at the forefront of modern communication a visit of the worldrsquos largest lsquoall orthopaedicrsquo hospital HSS in New York and its development plans just to name a few Some of the medical changes have already been mentioned above Unlike in 2001 we saw several arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstructions and hip arthroscopies procedures which have come to their technical maturity ACL surgery has not undergone major changes since our visits in 2001 except that it may be somewhat more anatomic than in the past

Although some of our techniques have evolved over these last 18 years we are still struggling in getting the big picture of many of our diseases and procedures Registries have been created over the last 10-15 years but their implementation into daily practice is still incomplete The complexity of ACL injuries in terms of associated injuries has not been

fully understood yet and we are struggling to reduce the secondary injury rate in youngsters and adolescents Indication for or against surgery in many of the injuries and diseases we treat needs to be better understood as are their natural history and consequences in the long-term But therersquos one thing that remained identical in this 18-years period the friendship and respect between our 2 scientific societies our hostsrsquo tremendous implication to make the fellowship successful the recognition and respect of our past leaders and the deep bond of friendship connecting us through our common profession The similar experiences and challenges we all went through be it during our medical and surgical education in the daily work with our patients the quest for excellence in our scientific work and the leadership engagement with our communitymdashthese all create connections on which it is easy to build These links do not depend on geographical frontiers political or religious convictions They are the glue of friendship and humanity which will always prevail This is probably what the initiators of this outstanding experience the late John Feagin and Werner Muumlller had in mind when they created the fellowship many years ago in Basel Switzerland I can confirm that they succeeded in many ways Thanks to John and Werner for this incredible gift and long live the ESSKA-AOSSM travelling fellowship and friendship

ESSKA-Chelsea FC Sports Trauma Fellowship 7 April - 28 April 2019 ndash Cobham United Kingdom

Fellow Graeme P Hopper (UK)

I would like to thank everyone involved in the organization of this fantastic fellowship in particular Paco Biosca (Chelsea FC Medical Director) and Jason Palmer (Chelsea FC Head Physiotherapist) but also the entire medical staff at Chelsea FC for making me feel part of the team and ESSKA for offering me the opportunity to participate in this unique fellowship

Cobham Training GroundDuring my fellowship I lived in a comfortable flat which was only a 10-minute walk to the fantastic Cobham Training Ground where I spent the majority of my three weeks

My time at the training ground was split between the first team the academy and the womenrsquos team The academy and womenrsquos medical team began their day with a meeting where they would discuss all of the injured players including their short-term and long-term plans After the meeting I would observe the rehabilitation program for these injured players or attend the morning training sessions The first team medical meeting would take place 90 minutes before the team trained and this was in the afternoon under the current manager which worked out well for me as I could attend most days In addition any injured players who were out on loan at other clubs would return for any periods of rehabilitation therefore I managed to observe their treatment

This fellowship enabled me to increase my knowledge significantly regarding the rehabilitation processes in elite football In particular the importance of functional rehabilitation and the use of hydrotherapy and electrotherapy As the team doctor for Kilmarnock FC and the Scotland Under 21s I was also interested in the medications and equipment that the doctors used as well as the emergency action plans they had in place In addition I managed to have discussions with the sports science team and also find out about the data collection for the UEFA Elite Club Injury Study

Moreover I have a particular interest in the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy for football related injuries therefore I was glad to find out that there was a lsquoPRP roomrsquo at the training facility It was interesting to observe the variety of injuries that PRP was used for and how effective it seemed to be I would like to thank Paco Biosca for allowing me to observe his methods and also taking time to sit down with me and discuss his rationale and his experience of PRP in the many years he has worked in football

Stamford BridgeDuring my fellowship I managed to attend two Premier League matches when Chelsea entertained West Ham and Burnley Additionally I attended the Premier League 2 match when the Chelsea U23s played Arsenal These games allowed me to experience the roles of the medical team on match days as well as experiencing the role of the tunnel doctor and having discussions with the ambulance crews and stretcher teams

I was also extremely fortunate to be able to bring my family down on the train from Scotland to attend the UEFA Europa League Quarter Final against Slavia Prague which was a fantastic 4-3 victory for Chelsea Chelsea went on to win this competition with a 4-1 victory against Arsenal in the final in Baku

Fortius Surgical Centre and Bupa Cromwell HospitalIt was a privilege to attend the Fortius Surgical Centre during my time in London to spend some time with two experts in the field of football medicine James Calder and Andy Williams My first visit was to the foot and ankle list with James Calder where I witnessed an ATFL repair Achilles repair using the PARS jig and an ankle ORIF in a professional rugby player It was also interesting to discuss the use of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in foot and ankle surgery

I was fortunate to be able to spend two days with Andy Williams one day in the Fortius Surgical Centre and another at the Bupa Cromwell Hospital I managed to observe a variety of operations including an ACL reconstruction using hamstrings with a lateral tenodesis a revision ACL reconstruction a meniscal ramp lesion repair PCL repair and a posterolateral corner reconstruction This also gave me an excellent opportunity to discuss future fellowship opportunities at the Fortius Clinic

Football Medicine Meets the Universe of SportThe fellowship tied in nicely with the Isokinetic Medical Group Conference Football Medicine Meets the Universe of Sport at Wembley Stadium I was fortunate to be able to present my research work at this spectacular venue and attend so many fantastic talks from experts in the field of football medicine

Finally I would like to again thank Chelsea FC and ESSKA for enabling me to go on this exceptional fellowship where I have learned so many new skills and added to my knowledge for my future career in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine

With more than 800 participants and 26 supporting companies the first ever ESSKA Speciality Days was a tremendous experience and a great success This NEW format aimed to be as innovative interactive and dynamic as possible and we certainly achieved this We fulfilled our goal of bringing together the four distinct programmes under one roof yet unifying them at key points during the day This spirit of collaboration knowledge sharing and networking formed the heart of the affectionately-named lsquoScience Soukrsquo the location of the exhibition and the Hot Topic debates which was the dynamic centre of action of the Speciality Days Busy dynamic and fun it was the place to be

We are proud to have created this new format and to have shaken up the way we communicate We intend to keep this concept at the heart of all future Speciality Days and to continue to raise excellence in our field

I would like to say a huge GRACIAS to all those who attended and made this event memorable and unforgettable

We look ahead to the next big event on our calendars ESSKA Congress in MILAN 2020 and mark you calendars for Speciality Days 2021 in Warsaw

The ESSKA Board wants to say

Speciality Days = Super Delegates

= Supportive and Dedicated partners
